Salen Stoten Ski Holidays
Skiing in Sälen Stöten
Sälen Stöten is a snow-sure option, and one of Sweden’s best picks for the variety of skiing on offer. Just a 20-minute transfer from the Scandinavian Mountains Airport, it’s also a top pick for families.
Part of the Sälen mountain range, Stöten has exclusively ski-in/ski-out accommodation, meaning you’ll have easy and direct access to the slopes from wherever you’re staying. Lined with pretty Scandi buildings, the village is small, peaceful and very walkable compared to bigger names in France or Austria, for example.
With 35km of pistes (49 overall), the skiing is largely quite gentle, favouring beginners and intermediates. You’ll be able to cruise about on wide pistes, with stunning views of Swedish and Norwegian mountain scenery, in full view pretty much wherever you are. There is an array of greens clustered around the village, offering a perfect environment for children and first-timers to learn.
Advanced skiers do have a few options - there are 5 black slopes, 5 reds, as well as a snow park, boardercross track, and parallel slalom course to have fun on.
Overall, Stöten is home to 2 chairlifts, 19 drag lifts and 3 magic carpets.
Stöten - and Swedish skiing in general - isn’t known for hardcore partying like you’ll see in Val Thorens or St Anton. Instead, you can expect nice restaurants and cafes, where you can tuck into coffees, hot chocolates and cakes.
Beyond these, you could have fun at the bowling alley, or simply relax in the Vattufjäll leisure centre, where you can swim or go in the sauna.
You can also drop the kids off at the Wolf Club with the resort’s friendly mascot, Vargy. Stöten puts on ‘Junior Weeks’, where children get free access to Wolf Club, as well as free lift passes, ski school, ski rental and more.
Junior Weeks for the 25-26 season cover the following dates: 11 January-8 February, 1-19 March, 12 April.
